Overview:

As the data center continues to evolve to meet rapidly escalating demands for higher levels of performance and resource virtualization, three rather distinct networking requirements have emerged. The typical server in a high performance data center may require connection to three switching fabrics: a LAN for connecting users and general networking, an Inter-Processor Communications (IPC) fabric for low latency message passing between compute cluster applications, and a storage fabric for access to shared storage/file resources. While Ethernet is the de facto technology for the general purpose LAN, it has been widely considered as a sub-optimal switching fabric for very high performance cluster interconnect IPC (e.g., for those MPI parallel applications that require extremely low end-to-end latency).
